Think back to your favorite picture book, comic, or graphic novel. Do you still remember the images and the story? Maybe a certain advertisement makes you laugh every time you see it. Whether in a children's book, comic or advertisement, each picture was thought out and designed by an illustrator.

Illustrators do more than draw they create artistic stories that captivate the eye and mind. With the help of our Illustration faculty, students learn to produce top-of-the-line illustrations that both engage the reader and tell the story behind the words.

Regardless of the type of artistic career you are interested in, a degree in Illustration will help you excel. Drawing is the foundation of all art and design programs, and the skills and techniques you learn in the Illustration Department will enhance the career path you choose.
